This sounds to me a lot like Hitler Youth...

Remember, if your family or friends are doing anything that could hurt Putin..
That's almost exactly like the Hitler Youth.
Putin *was* a KGB Colonel, you know. He'd probably start the Soviet Union again if he had the power.

This comes even as a surprise to me. I always felt that Putin wanted "just" to centralize all power to the Kremlin. But I see that I am wrong. Putin wants to rebuild a toltalitarian state. The big question, however, is whether he plans to step down and build it for someone else, or to keep it fior himself.

Nazi may not be the term for the National Socialist party in the Russian language.

As I have said before, the one of the first things that most totalitarian regimes do is get control of the next generation. Hence my opposition to government run schools.

Except-
A. It's pronounced different
B. It means something different
C. It's doubtful they'll be unfurling the Swastika anytime soon.

Wait, what the hell are you 'excepting' to?
I made no statements for you to base your arguments off of.
Did I write "Are like NAZIs" somewhere and then it became invisible?
I merely implied that the two words have physical appearance in common, which will result in them being viewed as being related by various groups.
Just like nobody can say "Commune-ism" properly.
So thank you, but you can take your assumption and shove it back where you pulled it out from.

Your implication sucks, basically. They're taking a Russian word (nashi-ours) and comparing it to a German combination word (Nazi-National Socialist). In Russia, Nazis are usually called faschisti. So, in effect, the people viewing them as related are either ignorant or retarded.
Regardless, there is no way that this can be good...
